In a poignant tale of disappointment and longing, "Udon" tells the story of Kosuke's return to his hometown after a disastrous stint in New York, where he finds himself face-to-face with the familiar comforts and crushing expectations that have sustained him for years - including the town's national obsession: udon noodles. A film that gently skewers the perils of small-town life, "Udon" is also a heartfelt tribute to the power of food and community to define us.
